Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program and instructors are registered and affiliated with the IBJJF. Under the guidance of our masters, we bring you the highest quality BJJ training in Chicagoland. The class consists of rigorous warm-ups, a variety of techniques and live drilling in a friendly and respectful environment.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques range from subtle control positions to powerful submissions. Students can expect to learn throws, takedowns, sweeps and submissions. While establishing an understanding of the mechanics behind the techniques, students will also learn how to manipulate the uniform–called a “Gi”–to execute skilled attacks.

This program is designed to equip students with skills that can be utilized in both self-defense and competitive environments.

Our kids Brazilian jiu-jitsu program is the perfect way for your child to mature into an adult and develop important life skills while learning self-defense. It’s also a great way of getting in shape, making friends, and having fun. As both a martial art and contact sport, this is a great opportunity for you child to learn how to persevere on the mats so they can persevere in life.
The program strays away from the “win/lose philosophy” and focuses on instilling a hard work ethic, positive attitude, and a love for the Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle. Classes include techniques, physical drills, games, and live training.
Here are list of a few of the benefits that your child will receive by training at Champion Jiu-Jitsu Academy:

Our no-gi class is based upon the techniques and principles of traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with adjustments being made to compensate for the lack of a uniform (gi).

In submission grappling, you learn various grips: the wrists, back of the neck, ankle, knee and elbow. These all change when the Gi is removed. Additionally, students will learn take-downs, position transitions, escapes, reversals, defensive and offensive joint locks, chokes and other submission holds–all specific to no-gi.
Our curriculum focuses on fighting in the clinch and on the ground. The no-gi program helps students develop skills that are useful in real self-defense situations as well as in a competitive environment.

This program develops skills that can be applied in self-defense or sporting environments.

Our MMA program combines the techniques students have learned in our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Striking classes to create a well-rounded and balanced martial artist.

This class is dedicated to bridging the gaps between striking, throws/takedowns, pinning, and submitting. This training is the epitome of self-defense and is the fastest growing sport worldwide.
With our experienced MMA instructors, our students can be confident that they are receiving some of the best MMA training in the area.
